Breakdown cover

Hercules_Grytpype-Thynne

Such a confusing array of plans and deals - what company do you use? Please.


Particularly want to know if changing a flat tyre with the spare comes under any cover - I presume it does as there are obviously elderly people who cannot manage to do this.

I use the AA, & pay more than is strictly MSE

Last time I had to call them was for a puncture, about 5 years ago.

And I stand 6 foot 5 & weigh north of 20 stones & all I could manage was to bent my cars, factory fit, wheel wrench attempting to get the nuts off.

Not being at home, no access to proper tools meant a call to the AA.

AA crewman needed a spider brace & 5 foot pole to move the nuts before changing the wheel for me (felt a bit guilty letting him do this)

ADAC - all options - all countries - even with a hire car in USA.

All telephone operators speak perfect English - €80 a year.

Anyone can join - no matter where you live.

The only international club truly for the benefit of it's members - as the RAC and the AA used to be before they became businesses only interested in the profit for their private shareholders.

I did do a search for this, but the link you have supplied, thank you, did not come up - now I have some to read!

Is it customary to tip the person from the company that has come to your rescue?

Autoaid £38 per year for breakdown, homestart, relay for you and 5 passengers. Covers you and spouse/partner for any car.

Hercules asked about tipping. I would bung him some beer money if he went the extra mile (so to speak) but I would do that for anyone not just a breakdown driver.
